You’ve built a thriving business and a loyal community, and now you’re dreaming of hosting a retreat—but the process feels overwhelming. Pricing, logistics, and marketing can all seem like too much to handle. That’s where Rest & Receive comes in. We take the stress out of retreat planning, so you can focus on creating a meaningful, transformative experience for your attendees—and a profitable one for you.

Who is it for

We work with purpose-driven professionals who are ready to create retreats that inspire and connect, including:

  • Yoga instructors who dream of running retreats in destinations like India but feel overwhelmed by the logistics and planning.
  • Business coaches and transformation leaders eager to deepen their client relationships through immersive, high-impact retreats.
  • Authors, writing coaches, and publishers looking to create inspiring writing retreats that energise their communities.
  • Creative entrepreneurs—such as photographers, artists, and designers—who want to lead workshops in beautiful, inspiring settings.
  • Aspiring retreat hosts who want expert guidance to confidently launch their first profitable retreat overseas or locally.

Meet One of Our Hosts: Emma Walkinshaw

Emma, a life coach and yoga instructor, partnered with Rest & Receive to run her first overseas retreat in India.

With our guidance, she sold out her first retreat and has since run another sold-out retreat this year. Emma now has the confidence and framework to create profitable retreats time and time again.

Her journey is proof that with the right tools and support, even the most ambitious retreat visions can become a reality. Ready to be our next success story.

Let's Plan Your Retreat

 

"I’d always dreamed of hosting a yoga retreat overseas but didn’t know where to start. How do I organise it? How can I deliver it in India? Rest & Receive gave me the confidence and tools I needed to create a retreat that was not only profitable but transformational for my attendees. My first retreat sold out, and now I’m running another sold-out retreat this year. Thanks to their support, I have the confidence and framework to do this time and time again—and trust that it will always be a success.”

— Emma W., Yoga Instructor & Retreat Host
